This is Fall, Enjoy it Now!

There’s a certain urgency about the autumn season this year. As summer has slowly given way to fall (which means that winter is closing in), we’ve started to cherish every family walk, each crisp morning and every sunny day that lets us carve away at our yard work to-do list. Olivia loves playing outside and is making the most of this season, crunching through the leaves and generally busying herself with her many little projects in the dirt.

I can’t say I’m not looking forward to playing in the snow (only to show Olivia how it’s done, of course, as a responsible parent 😉 ), but there’s something special about autumn that, much like a sunset, invites reflection and reminds you that each season is something to be fully enjoyed, because it won’t be here forever.
